Chapter 3707: Chapter 3698: Financial Fraud
Soon, Lin Yi dropped Chen Yutong off at her tutoring class and drove back to the company.
But as soon as he got out of the elevator, the receptionist stood up hastily.
"Lin Bro seems to be in trouble. I just saw the police come over."
"Hmm? The police came?"
"I don’t know what’s going on. I just saw them go to President Chen’s office. They’re in there talking, but I have no idea what happened."
Lin Yi frowned, a bit puzzled by the situation.
Could it be that someone reported them again?
Thinking of this, Lin Yi arrived at the door of Chen Yuying’s office.
Upon opening the door, he saw the police and two men in suits sitting on the office sofa.
Judging from Chen Yuying’s demeanor, she seemed to be at a disadvantage.
In addition, Xu Kai was also there.
He looked relatively calm, unlike Chen Yuying, who seemed anxious.
When Lin Yi entered, everyone’s eyes fell on him.
Chen Yuying’s face showed obvious tension, even some panic.
It seemed she didn’t want Lin Yi to be there.
With furrowed brows, Chen Yuying looked at Lin Yi as if hoping he would leave quickly.
Lin Yi remained unfazed, standing still.
He needed to figure out what was going on first.
"What’s happening?"
"They’re from the financial investigation unit, and they’re here today because..."
"Let me explain.
The speaker was a man dressed formally in a suit with short hair.
As he spoke, he produced his identification.
"We’re from the financial investigation team. My name is Song Mingyou. We came today because someone reported you for bribery and illegal loans, and we’re here to address the matter."
Hearing this, Lin Yi understood what was going on.
Hengchi Transport is an entity that shouldn’t be involved in finance.
Although there were loans in the past, a sudden issue must be related to yesterday’s loan.
"Leaders, our company has always abided by the law and has never done anything illegal. We will fully cooperate," Chen Yuying said.
"That’s good," Song Mingyou said. "Now, just come with me."
"Alright."
Chen Yuying stood up and made a gesture of invitation.
She also gave Lin Yi a look, indicating for him to move aside.
Lin Yi said nothing, stepping aside, then followed them out of the office.
"When did they arrive?" Lin Yi asked Xu Kai, who stood beside him.
"Around nine this morning, perhaps."
Xu Kai glanced at Lin Yi, cleared his throat, and said,
"Lin Yi, go prepare the car. I’m going out later, and you’ll take me."
"Hmm?"
Lin Yi looked at Xu Kai.
The statement seemed strange; he’s the Chen sisters’ driver, not someone Xu Kai could command.
Xu Kai knew this as well.
Feeling puzzled, Lin Yi noticed that the people ahead had stopped abruptly.
Chen Yuying’s face showed severity, glaring fiercely at Xu Kai.
"President Chen, I... I didn’t mean to..." Xu Kai nervously explained.
Chen Yuying said nothing; her stern expression spoke volumes.
Next to her, Song Mingyou scrutinized Lin Yi.
"Are you Lin Yi?"
Lin Yi nodded, "I am."
"From what I know, it was you who brokered that ten million loan, right?"
Song Mingyou’s question clarified the situation for Lin Yi.
They already knew the loan issue involved him and Chen Yuying but only knew his name, not his identity.
That’s why Chen Yuying showed that expression upon entering the office earlier.
Hoping he’d leave her office to buy herself some time.
She truly had a hard time.
"I initiated it," Lin Yi responded calmly.
"As long as you admit it, come with us."
"Alright."
Lin Yi didn’t refuse; no matter how big the issue, it had to be resolved in a suitable place.
At least it shouldn’t be discussed here.
Lin Yi, remaining calm, walked slowly over, pondering this incident.
The matter dealt with last night; the people came this morning, which was quite strange.
Suddenly, Lin Yi thought of Xu Kai’s earlier words.
What he really meant wasn’t about driving but exposing Lin Yi’s identity to Song Mingyou.
Lin Yi had a premonition, maybe Chen Yutong was right.
Perhaps Xu Kai really was the one causing trouble behind the scenes.
After all, within the company, only the four of them knew about this.
"You hid it well. If we’d been later, you might’ve slipped away."
"Just a ten-million loan, no need to make such a fuss," Lin Yi retorted.
Lin Yi’s response left Song Mingyou perplexed.
He expected Lin Yi to be flustered, then deny it with excuses, not confront it so composedly.
"It’s not about the amount, it’s a matter of principle!"
"I understand. This isn’t the place to talk; let’s go first."
Lin Yi’s composure shocked the others again.
It was as if he didn’t take the matter seriously at all.
"I’m telling you, don’t entertain any other ideas. Be honest, or it won’t benefit you."
"Alright, I know."
Standing calmly beside Chen Yuying, Lin Yi seemed to make Chen Yuying feel less anxious for a moment.
As if someone had her back.
The elevator arrived, and the group left.
Xu Kai’s mouth curled into a cold smile.
"I can’t beat you, so I’ll make sure you rot in jail!"
Taking the elevator down to the first floor.
Lin Yi and Chen Yuying were taken to the car; the atmosphere was tense, and no one spoke.
Lin Yi sat in the car, feeling a bit aggrieved by his poor luck.
Such financial cases couldn’t be handled at a police station; they required either a precinct or the main bureau, both high-ranking places.
If anyone among them recognized him, it wouldn’t be as troublesome.
Yawning, Lin Yi leaned against the car window and dozed off.
Sitting beside him, Chen Yuying was startled.
"Don’t sleep, do you even know the situation we’re in!"
Chen Yuying was somewhat speechless; attitude mattered very much at this time.
Sleeping in front of them would surely anger anyone.
Even if they might go easy, they could end up ruling harshly.
"Just resting my eyes a bit. There’s nothing to do anyway."
Song Mingyou glanced at Lin Yi.
"You managed this, so you must have connections, but I advise against that thought. We’re from the main bureau; no one can help you."
"But rest assured, I’ll fully cooperate."
Lin Yi’s calm demeanor left them bewildered again.
This was an emotion they couldn’t understand, unlike that of an ordinary person.
He didn’t seem to grasp the gravity of the situation or the crisis he was in.
To them, it was utterly incomprehensible.
